I do not see what the benefits to legalized prostitution would be.. you would see an increase in adultery and a rise in sexually transmitted diseases for sure.

I have mixed feelings.. I believe many women choose to be prostitutes and actually enjoy their "profession". However, I do believe you would see an increase in adultery alone as prostitution became legal and therefore more socially acceptable.

So, it is a grey area for me. I cannot see enough benefits to justify making prostitution a legal and organized practice, however.<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>

I'd rather one to go to a discreet place in which to humor their infidelities with the assurance that they are not bringing home any diseases for their significant others. Amsterdam is a good example of an extremely tolerant society, and has considerably low rates of teen pregnancies and sexually transmitted diseases specifically because of its government regulations. Obviously, banning does not work. Here in America, it's no wonder that "abstinence education" does absolutely nothing but ensure a lack of understanding as to the consequences when it comes to teens and sex - and statistics show that.
